I am glad I am wrong about how bad Isaac would be for NO and the Coast. The power didn't go out on Canal Street, e.g., but there is still quite a bit of damage and flooding around the area.
And here's our forecast here in lower MI to Monday:

New Orleans may have been spared, but there is much damage throughout Southeast Louisiana and Mississippi. Plaquemines Parish is under water (8 to 10 feet); areas in St John Parish (City of LaPlace) were flooded which have never had flooding issues. Slidell levees and bayous overtopping and flooding.

So, yeah, New Orleans seems to have dodged the bullet, but it's still on track to be a major damage storm, and certainly life-changing for many, many families.

In North Florida, only rain, but internet connectivity (I think it comes from Houston through New Orleans) is varying wildly by a factor of 100 in speed, and most often slow. Strange. Many connection errors. Even with google.com.

I'm OK -- just posted my Top Ten...
